Cat care experience

Cats have always held a special place in my heart! I have a lot of experience caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. I am comfortable working with shy cats and always give them the space if they need. I am also more than happy to spend an entire visit with a cat on my lap and/or playing!

Tara did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty. She paid attention to his personality and even created a visit routine based on his likes. She always left detailed notes and pictures and made us feel so comfortable with his care while we were away. Thank you Tara!

Tara was able to accommodate my return date due to several canceled flight, which was an absolute life saver. I came home to very happy cats. She took great care of them and they seemed to really like her. I looked forward to her detailed daily updates and photos! Highly recommend!
